Goombario's Log Day 14: ................................................................................................ Hey, um hi. It's Kooper here. Goombario got a severe case of heat stroke while strolling the desert with Mario since we traveled every square inch of this desert. It was pretty fun bashing up Pokey's and Bandits today. And hey, I even got powered up at the oasis. So um, yeah. That's kinda all we did today. I'm gonna just copy what I wrote here for Goombario into my journal and get him some water. Um, bye. Kooper's Log Day 9: Hey, um hi. It's Kooper here, again. Goombario got a severe case of heat stroke while strolling the desert with Mario since we traveled every square inch of this desert. It was pretty fun bashing up Pokey's and Bandits today. And hey, I even got powered up at the oasis. So um, yeah. That's kinda all we did today. I'm gonna just copy what I wrote here for Goombario into my journal and get him some water. Um, bye. Bombette's Log Day 8: Yeesh. I thought I was having a rough time in the desert, but I think Goombario's fricking lost it. It can't be too pleasant for the little guy walking through this whole desert. Thankfully I didn't have to do a whole lot today and got to ride in Mario's abnormally large pocket. It's way bigger than it seems, there's even a mini fridge in here. Maybe I should have given Goombario some water while I was relaxing in there? ... oh well. Parakarry's Log Day 3: Phew, finally. We made it to Dry Dry Outpost at last. Thankfully my wings managed to keep a nice breeze going throughout the journey, so I was right as rain. Goombario, not so much. I'm fanning him down with my wings as I'm writing this, hopefully he'll feel better by tomorrow. *while traveling the desert* Goombario: So, hot. Can't, go, on. Kooper: Keep it together now Goombario. I'll drag you along myself if I have to. Bombette: I mean, I guess that it's hot, but really? Parakarry: Honestly, I'm starting to feel a little worn out. A spot to rest would be nice right now. Kooper: Hey look, there! Goombario, look! It's water! There's an oasis! Goombario: Wa...w-wotah? Kooper: Yeah, water!!! Goombario: Wotah!!! Kooper: Come on, let's go! Goombario: Yeah! *Goombario and Kooper rush off to the oasis* Bombette: Oh come on. Talk about overreacting. Parakarry: Let's just hope it's not a mirage. *the rest of the gang walks over the the oasis*

Part 1: Goombario's Log: Day 1 Wow. This has been one of the craziest days of my life. First a massive earthquake breaks our fence, then a mysterious man falls from the sky, which turned out to be Mario. THE Mario. Man, I was so excited to finally meet him in person once he woke up. Unfortunately, things went south pretty quickly. This witch Kammy Koopa put a big block right on our fence door preventing us from leaving. And what's worse is that Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach again. Oh man, if only there was something I could do? Goombario: Dad! Sis! What happened!? Goompapa: Goombario! This wicked Kammy Koopa just broke our fence, again. Goombaria: And worse, it seems Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach, again. Goombaria: Aw man, what can we do? Goompapa: Don't worry son. I sent Mario to find Goompa and borrow his hammer. That should break the block no problem. Goombaria: Although, he's been in there for a while and hasn't come out yet. You think something's wrong? Goombario: Eh. Gooma's probably telling him another one of her long-winded stories. There's nothing to worry about, besides the thing that we should be worried about. Goombario's Log Day 2: OMGoomba! I can't believe it! I get to go on an adventure with Mario! Oh man, I'm so excited! I know my family is excited to see me head out, though my mother wants me to be safe and my sister is a bit jealous, but that doesn't matter. I can't wait to head out and save the princess from Bowser. Here we go! Goombario: What the Koopa Shell! Dad! Sis! The veranda is gone! Goompapa: What! What do you mean gone!? Goombario: I went to check in on Goompa and Mario to see what was taking so long and when I opened the door the veranda was gone! Goombaria: How could an entire veranda just disappear? Goompapa: Perhaps that wicked Kammy Koopa broke it when she left. I just hope the two of them are okay. Goombario: I'm not worried about Mario. I just hope Goompa is okay. Goombaria: He'll be fine. His skull is as thick as yours. Goombario: Hey! But you do have a point. Goombario's Log Day 3: Today's the start of my adventure with Mario. I've got everything packed and ready to go. On our way to Star Summit we ran into some troublesome goombas which were no problem for us. But then, we ran into Blue, Red, and King Goomba on our travels. Even still they were pushovers thanks to Mario and I. We sent those guys packing and cleared a path towards our destination. Everything's going great so far, though I have a feeling that while I'm writing this entry, that we're being watched. Eh, it's probably nothing. ???: Hey hey! Hold it right there! You! Yeah you, suspicious guy! Don't move! Goombario: Mario! Over there! Mario: *looks in the opposite direction* Goombario: No. The other way. Mario: *looks towards the camera* Goombario: Other, other way! Mario: *looks at the ledge* Oh. Woah! *meanwhile* Kammy Koopa: Hahaha. So, looks like the Goomba King wasn't tough enough to defeat Mario. I'm afraid my worst fears are realized. He has regained his strength so quickly. I must alert King Bowser immediately. Mario must not make it to Bowser. *flies off to Peach's Castle* Goombario's Log Day 4: After trouncing the Goomba Bros and King Goomba, we made our way to Toad Town. The residents there were pretty riled up after losing the castle and Peach. We spoke with Mario's brother, Luigi, who was watching the house as well. He seems nice. But, we had more serious matters to attend to. We made our way to Shooting Star Summit, where; OMGoomba, I finally got to meet Murluvlee! She's even more gorgeous than I imagined! I hope she wasn't reading my mind at that moment. Was there anything else that happened? Eh, maybe it'll come back to me later. *outside Murluvlee's house* Goombario: Okay Goombario, you've got this. It's only your childhood crush that you're finally meeting in person for the first time ever. Focus okay, you've got this. Mario: *opens the door* Murluvlee: Well, well. If it isn't Mario and Goombario. I foresaw your arrival here. Goombario: She knows my name. She knows my name! *passes out* Murluvlee: Is he okay? Mario: *shrugs* Murluvlee: I definitely didn't foresee that happening. Goombario's Log Day 5: After making our way down Shooting Star Summit, we ran into Twink; a star spirit sent by Princess Peach to tell us she's doing fine. But I feel like we should hurry along and get to her as soon as possible. We met up with Merlon, the grandfather of Merluvlee, who told us to head to Koopa Village to meet a 'Blue Shelled Koopa'. Don't know what he meant by that but I'm excited to meet them. Oh, and we also took on the Toad Town Dojo and managed to beat 2/3 of the competitors. We weren't strong enough to take down the Master though, but if you could have seen that fight, we might have beat him with a bit more luck. But anyways, we arrived in Koopa Village only to see it being ravaged by Fuzzies. The people are being attacked as I am writing this and Mario is just standing there doing nothing right now. Maybe he'll come to his senses by tomorrow, if the Koopas are still alive by then. *meanwhile at the dojo* Master: Well Mario, you've done well to challenge me to a fight. But this is where your run ends. Take this! *miss* What? Um, let me try that again. *miss* Huh!? Hold on, let me adjust my staff real quick. Ok. Hiya! *miss* What the!? *miss* Oh come on! *miss* Grrrrr!!! *throws the staff at Mario, hits him* Yes! Ha! First try! Better luck next time Mario. Woo Hoo. *starts coughing and hacking* *later at Koopa Village* Goombario: Mario! The koopas are under attack! Do something! Mario: *staring into the distance* Goombario: Mario? Earth to Mario! Are you here!? Mario: *static* (Inner Monologue: How did I survive so long against the Master?) Goombario's Log Day 6: Mario finally woke up and bonked a fuzzy that stole a koopa's shell, allowing us to retrieve it. We then went around and got the rest of the resident's shells back before running into Kooper, the blue-shelled koopa Merlon told us about. His shell also got stolen by a fuzzy, so we had to chase after it. Once we got it back and gave it to Kooper, he wanted to join our party. Mario seemed a bit resistive to letting him join, but he agreed and let him join the party. So now we're a team of three staring down Koopa Bros. Fortress. Nothing can stop us now! Kooper's Log Day 1: Holy Shell! I can't believe it! I'm going on an adventure with Mario! You don't know how excited I am to be traveling with him. Of course, it's not just Mario I'm going with. There's this little goomba named Goombario that's here as well. He's pretty cool, I guess. But I mean, Mario's there too. But enough fanboying, time to show those Koopa Bros. who's the real Koopa King. Kooper: So, that was Mario's brother Luigi, right? Goombario: Yup. He seems a bit bummed out to not be going on an adventure with us. But like he said, someone needs to stay behind and look after the house. Kooper: You think that guy will ever accomplish anything in his life. Goombario: What do you mean by that? Kooper: I mean, I've heard so many stories about how Mario saved the world dozens of times over, but not a single story about Luigi. Goombario: I mean, there was that one-time Mario went missing and Luigi had to travel the world to rescue him. Kooper: Shut your mouth right now little mister know it all, we do not speak about that. It was non-canon, it didn't happen. Goombario: Even that time Mario had a time ma... Kooper: *power shell's Goombario* Not. Canon. Goombario: *dizzy* Understood. But like, give it a few months or so. I'm sure Luigi will do something spectacular.

Part 2: Goombario's Log Day 7: After entering Koopa Bros. Fortress, we fought our way through Koopas and Bob-ombs loyal to Bowser. We were making great progress, until one of the Koopa Bros. set a trap for us and we landed in a prison. Thankfully, we ran into a new friend named Bombette. She used to work for the Koopa Bros. before Bowser came in and corrupted them and forced the Bob-ombs into slavery. She was able to bust a hole in the jail cell wall allowing us and the others to escape. And now that we're free, there's nothing else that'll stand in our way of taking down the Koopa Bros. Kooper's Log Day 2: Woah. This fortress is incredible. It's so tall and intimidating with so many floors. I gotta say, even though the Koopa Bros. are our enemies, they know how to run a fortress. I mean sure, they did trick us into falling into a jail cell, but like, look at those outfits. The Koopa Bros. are so cool. Bombette's Log Day 1: The Koopa Bros. are a bunch of Ampholes! They think that they can lock me in a jail cell for demanding fair treatment is absurd! Oh, when I get out of this cage, I will give them a piece of my mind! Continued: So, um, I feel dumb. You see, Mario, THE Mario, just fell into this cell with us. And I really wanted to join him on his adventure to stop the Koopa Bros. So, I showed him my special move of blowing up cracked walls. So, I blew up a cracked wall on our jail cell, and that's when I realized I could have done that from the beginning. Oh well. I'll just let all of my pent-up anger out on those Koopa Bros. Goombario: So, looks like we're a party of four now. Kooper: Looks like it. The more the merrier, I guess. Bombette: Don't you worry a thing boys. I know how to pull my own weight around here. Kooper: Just try not to blow a fuse, okay? Bombette: Da Fuzz did you say!? Goombario: Woah, woah. Easy guys. We're all friends here, right? Bombette: I've barely known you and yet you know about my love life! Goombario: Wait, so you do have a boyfriend? Bombette: Did. Have. Now shut your mouth before I burn it shut. Kooper: Good luck. Mario: *motions for them to follow* Bombette: Looks like Mario needs us. Try to keep up boys. *runs off* Kooper: Hey! Wait up! *slides after her* Goombario: Hey! *tries to run with his stubby legs* Goombario's Log Day 8: Well, we did it. After climbing higher in Koopa Bros. Fortress and getting past all those Bullet Bill's, we fought the Koopa Bros. head on. But first, we had to knock out their Bowser replica. Could you believe they thought they were fooling us with that? I mean, I've never seen Bowser in person before, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't three-dimensional, or made of cardboard. But whatever, we took'em down no problem and saved the first star spirit. 1 down, 6 to go. Only question now is; where do we go now? Kooper's Log Day 3: Holy Shell! I can't believe we got to fight THE Bowser! I mean, not me specifically since Goombario and Bombette took care of him, but hey it's the thought that counts. And I sure was shell-shocked to see that Bowser was just the Koopa Bros. this entire time. Man, you learn something new everyday. Bombette's Log Day 2: BOOM! In Your FACE Koopa Bros! That's what you get for locking me in a cage for all eternity you sons of Bloopers! Ehem. Sorry. Got a bit excited there. But hey, now that my former bosses are stuck in jail for all eternity, I'm a free girl now. Much like that star spirit we just saved. I can't wait to see the sun again and venture off to our next destination. So long Koopa Bros. Fortress, I won't miss you. *just outside the boss door* Bombette: *psyching herself up* Ok, Bombette. It's payback time. Kooper: So, what's your plan Bombette? Bombette: Simple. I'm gonna hit'em, and then I'll hit'em again. Goombario: That sounds pretty flat if you ask me. Kooper: Dude, all we've been doing is hitting enemies over and over again until they die. Bombette: Exactly. Glad we're on the same page Kooper. Now, let's go. Kooper: Yeah! Let's get'em! Bombette: Hold your Yoshi's bud, this is my fight! *knocks him in his shell and shoots him to the other side of the castle* Goombario: Hey! What was that for!? Bombette: He'll be fine. I'm sure we can manage without him. Now, it's payback time! *blows the door open* Charrrrrrrrge!!!! Goombario: Hey! Wait for me! *runs after with his stubby legs* Mario: *who witnessed the whole thing* (shrugs) (walks in) Goombario's Log Day 9: After rescuing the first Star Spirit, we headed back to Koopa Village and helped out the old Koopa Koot with some errands. Not much to note for today other than we headed back to Toad Town, but still no clear clue on where to go next. Kooper's Log Day 4: So, Mario started running errands for Koopa Koot. I've heard stories of how this old geezer would manipulate everyone in the village to do his bidding. It's only just begun, but trust me, it only gets worse from here. Bombette's Log Day 3: For the love of Goombas, I can't believe it. My old 'boyfriend' made his way to Koopa Village and is living in Kooper's House now. Ugh. That guy needs to back the fuzz off. I am an independent woman who don't need a man in her life. I just hope he doesn't start making a racket in the village. Koopa Koot: You're a life saver Mario. Mario: Yahoo! *turns into a lifesaver* Goombario: Mario, No! Kooper: Oh yeah, baby. Bombette: Let's press on, and on, and on. Goombario's Log Day 10: Before leaving Koopa Village, we heard on the radio that there was a contest to take a Koopa Leaf to the front of Toad Town in order to win a prize. So, we rushed to Toad Town as fast as we could with nothing in our way. Except for Jr. Troopa who decided to fight us, and Twink telling us to go to Dry Dry Desert to find the next Star Spirit. And unfortunately, we were just seconds aways from getting there and had to go back to Koopa Village to try again. Thankfully we managed it and got some Maple Syrup for our trouble. After that, we went around town and talked to the residents, visited Luigi, the badge shop, and tried the dojo Master again. We failed, but we got closer this time. Oh, and I learned that Murluvlee has a twin sister! OMGoomba! I bet she's just as beautiful as well! *squeals* Eh hem. That's enough for today. Kooper's Log Day 5: Man, what is up with that Jr. Troopa? The kid's as small as they get and he's still in his egg, and yet he's some kind of menace to people whose hobbies include working out and ordering stuff by mail. Who would send stuff to this little brat anyway? Eh, whatever. He's still no match for us, even if he did waste our time with winning that radio contest. Bombette's Log Day 4: Gosh, even the Toad's here can be hopeless romantics. We met with Minh T. who runs the flower garden in Toad Town and asked us to find Bub-ulbs to plant in her garden. However, just on the other side of the garden was this creepy toad who has a crush on her, and yikes. I thought my 'boyfriend' was a hopeless romantic, but that toad took it to another level. He and that Bob-omb should NEVER meet each other. I shudder to think what their simp-etude power would become if they ever met. No thank you. Goombario: Radio contest, here we come! Kooper: We're really moving in synch guys. Bombette: Nothing can stop us now! ???: Mario, it's me. Jr. Troopa. *pops out from behind a bush* Jr. Troopa: I'm here to kick your amp! Bombette: Listen pal, I'm really sorry, but we don't have time to play with you today. So, hurry on home, okay? Jr. Troopa: What's this? Were you so frightened by my power that you wet yourself, hot head? Bombette: DID I WHAT!? You've got a lot of nerve you one-eyed monster! Mario: *shocked* Goombario: *shocked* Kooper: *shocked* Goombario: B-Bombette? You do know "one-eyed monster" usually means- Bombette: Huh? Means what!? Goombario: Um... It's ah... Kooper, why are you blushing? Kooper: *realization hits* Shut up! *bonks Goombario* *Battle Start*

Part 3: Goombario's Log Day 11: We went around the southern part of Toad Town today and met up with Tayce T., the Toad Town chef. She was able to make a lot of good items for us that will no doubt help us on our adventure. We also visited the harbor and saw someone fishing. I don't really like fish myself, but hey, to each their own. Then we went into the sewers and fought gloombas and a Blooper guarding a badge. Then, just north of the train station was the Playroom and the Lil' Oinks farm. We lost our money at the Playroom and didn't see a single Lil' Oink at all. But hey, next time we should be able to head to Dry Dry Desert to find the next Star Spirit. Kooper's Log Day 6: Doo do do do do do, Doo do do do do do. Man, those sewers bring back so many memories for me. I remember when me and my friends would wonder into the sewers and mess around together. It was such a blast, that is until some jackbros came in and started hitting us from underneath and flipping us over. And then they kicked us. Man, if I could see the person that did that to me, I would give them a piece of my mind (P.S. Yes, I know those were called "Shell Creepers" in the arcade and aren't actually Koopas but just go with it okay.) Bombette's Log Day 5: Well, my life flashed before my eyes today. We made our way to the Train Station, but before heading there we decided to visit the Playroom Koopa Koot told us about. For some reason, Mario took us to the back of the Lil' Oinks farm and told me to blow up in this exact spot. I was confused as to why, but I did it anyways. And then, out of nowhere a pipe appeared from the ground and it led to the Playroom. What? Kooper: Hey, Goombario. Goombario: What is it Kooper? Kooper: How come you don't like fish? Goombario: I don't know. Just, never really liked it. Bombette: Come on, there's got to be a reason you don't like it. Goombario: Look, it's just, they're so slimy and scaly. *shivers* Just saying it gives me the creeps. Bombette: I don't know, that sounds like a pretty, Cheep-Cheep shot don't you think. Kooper: Ay! Up top! *high-fives* Bombette *elsewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom* ???: Hmm? I don't know why but I think I gonna kick a Goomba's butt someday. Goombario's Log Day 12: We got up bright and early today to head to Dry Dry Desert in search of the second Star Spirit. After Bombette opened the tracks for us, we took the train straight to the desert. Once we got there, we ran into Parakarry, the mail-koopa. He dropped some letters and we had to go find them for him. They were pretty easy though, and we got them back to him no problem. In return, Karry offered to lend us a hand in our adventure. So now we're a party of five, I wonder who we'll meet up with next? Kooper's Log Day 7: Phew, this desert heat sure is blistering. This shell sure doesn't help a lot when it comes to the heat as well. But at the very least, I'm not the only koopa suffering from the heat, as we met up with Parakarry. He'll be joining us on our adventure, but man, how can Karry handle the heat in all of those clothes? Gosh, I envy him. P.S. Apparantly, Mario is my son? Don't know what that was about. Bombette's Log Day 6: *panting* So, hot. I'm worried this heat will light my fuse if I'm out too long. At the very least, it's been fun blowing up Clefts over and over again. So hey, it's not all bad. Oh yeah. We have a new friend today, Parakarry. Another boy as well. Gosh, when are we gonna gets some more girls in this squad? Parakarry's Log Day 1: Wah-Hoo! I can't believe it! I'm going on an adventure with Mario! I know Mario won't be disappointed by my services. I know these lands like the back of my hand. Oh, and of course he's agreed to help me find my missing letters too. But let's not talk about that part. Now then, off we go! Dry Dry Outpost, here we come! *shortly after reaching the desert* Kooper: Ah, the desert. Count how many sands is here, Goombario. That's your first mission. Goombario: Ok. *Proceeds to start counting while everyone talks over him* Bombette: Why the Fuzz would you make him do that!? Kooper: It passes the time. Bombette: It's gonna take so long. Kooper! It's gonna be so annoying! Kooper: I'm curious what the biggest number is. Bombette: No! He's just going to be counting forever! Kooper: Perhaps. But it's... (Parakarry losing his mind in the background) Bombette: Kooper, what have you brought!? This is your fault! Goombario: There are only 30 million sand particles in this desert. Kooper: See, that was easy. Bombette: Fuzz. Oh my Goomba. Goombario's Log Day 13: After getting Parakarry into our team, we headed back to Toad Town to deliver Merlon his letter. It turns out that it's from Merlee, Merluvlee's twin sister. Now I finally have a name to another face of beauty! *squeals* Eh hem. Sorry. Anyway, we went back to Dry Dry Desert and did some exploring with Karry in the party. That's when we ran into a Buzzar who was looking for Mario. (If Mario answered Luigi; We thankfully managed to avoid an encounter by saying he was Luigi, and the birdbrain bought it.) (If Mario answered anything else; We had to take him, but thankfully with Mario's Shrink Stomp boots and Karry's move set, he was no problem for us at all.) Once that was done, we made it to the heart of Dry Dry Desert where we met Kolorada. Kooper seemed pretty excited to meet him I'll say that much. But now that we're here, all that's left is to comb this desert until we find the ruins. Kooper's Log Day 8: HOLY SHELL! HOLY SHELL HOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLYYYYYYY SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I FINALLY GOT TO MEET KOLORADA IN THE FLESH! He's even cooler than I imagined. He even said that when I'm done helping Mario save the world, he'll take me on an expedition! *squeals* THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIIIIIIIIIFFEE!!! Bombette's Log Day 7: So, this is the world's famous Kolorada huh? Doesn't look all that impressive as people say. Goombario even told me that the koopa's up his own amp about treasure. He rushes off on adventure at even the wince of hearing about treasure. That koopa's gonna get himself killed at some point if he doesn't get his head out of the sand. Literally. I feel for his wife man, it's a good thing I'm single. Parakarry's Log Day 2: So, my adventure with Mario officially started today. We delivered Merlon his letter in Toad Town, proceeded to beat shell out of a bird, and met up with Kolorado in the heart of the desert. I gotta say, this adventure has been fun so far. My wings have been flapping like crazy ever since I first joined. Wonder what will come next in our travels? Goombario: Alright, there. All written down for today. Time to pack it in for the night and... Bombette: HEY! Goombario: Ah! Bombette? What are you doing here? Bombette: Listen, Kooper and Karry are having an argument outside, and they've been at it for an hour now. Goombario: What are they arguing about? Bombette: The shell if I care! I just want them to shut the fuzz up! So, go out there and break up that argument, okay!? Goombario: Um sure. Okay. *walks outside the tent, sees the two arguing* Hey! What's going on here!? Kooper: Ah, Goombario. There you are. Please, settle this debate for us. You're a genius, right? Goombario: What's it about? Karry: We've been having an argument about my wings. Kooper is of course a normal Koopa Troopa. And I'm a Koopa Paratroopa. Kooper: And according to your logic, a Paratroopa is just a Koopa with wings. And if Mario or you jump on them, their wings fall off and they turn into normal Koopas, right? Goombario: I mean, that's what I've written down, so? Kooper: So you see, I'm saying that if you were to bonk Karry on the head twice, his wings will fall off. Karry: And I'm saying he's an idiot and my wings cannot be detached from my body. Kooper: Then there's only one way to solve this; Goombario, bonk him on the head. Goombario: What!? Kooper, he's our friend. I can't just hit him. Kooper: Bombette hits me all the time, what's the difference here? Bombette: The difference is that you're an amphole. Goombario, just whack Karry so they can shut up, okay? Goombario: Ok, fine. He goes. *bonks Karry on the head twice, ... nothing happens* Karry: See, my wings are still attached. Kooper: What the, but that, but you said... No. *grabs Goombario* I refuse to be proven wrong! Goombario: Wait! What are you...! *Kooper proceeds to bash Karry on the head repeatedly with Goombario to try and make his wings fall off, they don't and Karry just stands there unfazed* Bombette: *witnessing the whole thing* *scoffs* Boys.

[@gigabyte2248]

Do we know why? I'm guessing it's a value overflow, but why that block in particular? Probably because it needs to keep counting after triggering the first block to appear, so that it can trigger the second and third blocks. A long integer maxes out at ~2.1e10. 416 years is ~1.3e10 seconds. To overflow a long integer in 416 years you'd need to hit the block just under twice a second, which sounds about right for fastest hammer speed.

[@shadeknight6537]

Instead of doing what Emile did and explore all of Dry Dry Desert as soon as he entered, I recommend making a beeline for Dry Dry Outpost first and then go on a merry adventure through the desert. The reason is that there are a lot of items in Dry Dry Desert, meaning if you grab them all immediately, you will run out of space in your very limited inventory. It's much better to dump all of your items over at the item shop so you can make room for all the junk you're about to collect. And also because an NPC gives you hints on where to find some of those items and I think it's more fun to follow the NPC's advice. I know I've been harsh on Kooper lately, but Dry Dry Desert is finally his moment in the harsh, deadly not-Arizonan sun. Kooper is the only Partner able to attack Pokeys without spending FP, which is huge. To give you an idea, the only other Partner who can do that is the very last one in the game, and by that point, Pokeys have long stopped giving Star Points. On top of that, the fact that Kooper knocks away a segment of their body stops them from summoning other Pokeys entirely. Unfortunately, that doesn't make him a worthwhile candidate for the first Super Block IMO. Bombette's Power Bomb is too useful for dealing with the Stone Chomps in the Ruins and the Bandits quickly, and either Goombario or Parakarry will help you deal with the chapter boss faster. Dizzy Shell is gonna be helpful later, but right now, there are too few situations where it's all that helpful. Speaking of Bandits, in hindsight, it's weird to me how they're in this chapter and not the one that's a big Yoshi's Island reference. By the way, all spiked enemies hurt Parakarry. Try using Sky Dive on the Spiked Gloombas or Piranha Plants in the next chapter if you don't believe me. And I forgot Runaway Pay existed. 27:09 behold as Goombario's run cycle skips a couple of frames.

[@arunravindran6094]

A few things in this area for Hard Mode Mods, instead of the desert being a huge block map, it's an actual maze where you have to take certain paths in order to progress. Second upgraded partners tend to have additional abilities. For example Kooper when at Super Rank can lower the foe's defense by 1 for 1 turn, Bombette's body slam has the same property as spin smash and her power bomb ability has shrinking chance which is really cool and makes shrink not just for shrink stomp.

The characterization for goombario's dessert tattles are so fun for how easy it'd be to miss. That said, while I always comb the dessert for items, I try to make an effort to only fight the middle row cause otherwise you can very easily overlevel I believe at least Mario wiki considers tweeters to be the inanimate tornados in Mario 3 and 64, but I believe paper Mario is the first game to give them the face that the Mario party games uses. Huh, I was thinking runaway pay might at least be helpful if you get into a fight that for some unforseen reason goes REALLY bad part ways in, but having to wear it constantly for two badge points, "just in case," makes it pretty worthless, especially if it's not your first time and you already know how dangerous enemies can be Oh also. I said a few parts ago that personally I don't get too much use out of kooper, but dry dry dessert DEFINITELY gives him time to shine, he can sync up with quake hammer so well.

[@Wei_Radula_Regiment]

Useful bit of information: When your inventory is full of items and you try to pick up another, but decided on tossing the new item _without adding it to your inventory even momentarily_ that item will blink out of existence... however, if that item was a static item (as opposed to a randomly generated one), such as that Ultra Shroom, leaving and reentering this load screen will result in the static item once again being there. This can be done indefinitely! This does not happen for randomly generated items, such as those dropped by enemies and if you add the new item to your inventory even for a second, it will be gone forever when it blinks out of existence, but as long as you don't add it to your inventory, you can let it blink out of existence assured that it will once again be there in that item block, etc. upon your return. I've been waiting for Emile to showcase this each time he throws away an item due to him having full inventories from buying items. Ooh, I typed that up before the Runaway Pay Badge block experimentation. Anyway, the thing I posted above works even with blocks that only spawn consumable items that are far less unique/important than Badges and the blocks in which they come. They also work with items that are just laying out on the ground (as long as they're static items), like that Tasty Tonic and the Fire Flower. Trivia: The Pokey segments being knocked away by Kooper's attack is a reference to Japan's Daruma game in which segments of a column are stacked and topped with a Buddhist effigy (on which the Darumaka Pokemon is based) and the objective of the game is to swing a large mallet horizontally to knock out one segment of the column at a time without toppling it. This Daruma game is also the inspiration for the way to beat the Koopa Bros. stack, as well as Zelda Majora's Mask's Snowhead Temple central mechanic. The thing about walking in a large circle isn't due to one leg being longer, but one of your legs' strides being longer due to it being your dominant foot with that leg having slightly more built-up musculature, in the same way most people have a dominant hand.

[@Rexaura888]

Mario’s going to have so much sand to pour out of his shoes by the time he gets to the Toad House in Dry Dry Outpost. 0:55 Zap Tap is a good defense against Bandits because in order for them to steal from you they need to grab you first, and them getting electrocuted prevents them from grabbing. TTYD Bandits would also steal items and even Badges. 1:20 So running away as Goombario said when first facing off against Clefts is a valid tactic. It’s not a guarantee however, though you can increase your chances with the Action Command. When you do successfully run, Mario gains I-frames to keep him from getting back into a fight unless he initiates it but also drops coin as a sort of penalty for running. It’s nice that you can see your odds of running away though unlike in other RPGs like Pokémon and Earthbound. 2:22 You may also be thinking of them in Yoshi’s Island where they’re also Blue except for the Coin Bandits which are Red. That’s probably why these Bandits are Red since they steal your coins and not…well, Mario, as the Blue Bandits once did when he was a Baby. 3:10 Oh, so bigger than the five by five square that I’d previously thought. Apparently 25 screens was too generous. Do not toss this Ultra Shroom away lightly. Outside of the Lil’ Oinks Ultra Shrooms are a limited resource as no store in the game sells them and no enemies in the game drop them. 4:24 Goombario has a unique Tattle for every one of these screens too, so kudos to the writers. Granted, most of them are him complaining about the Desert and variations thereof, but no two Tattles are alike. And Emile says just that 30 seconds later. 5:20 Move faster, Conroy! 6:38 This is why you want to store things at shops before going exploring in Dry Dry Desert. You’ll probably still have to toss or consume things, but you’ll be doing it less if you’re near the Outpost or had the foresight to empty your inventory beforehand. 7:17 With them having 4 HP, they go down in one turn each usually. 8:55 IIRC you’re near an oasis at this point so Goombario might be referring to that or the mere existence of an oasis. 9:50 You know, I think Goombario needs to take a swig of some Cactus Juice. Quench him right up and change his mood for the better. 12:52 You did use a Fire Flower against the Goomba Bros. 14:35 Or make a beeline for the Outpost as there’s a Toad House there. Either works depending on how close you are to the left or right side of the Desert. 15:55 This implies that Goombario has text for when it’s a normal block or a ? block too. 16:16 You’re at least smack dab in the middle of the Desert. You’re as close to Mt. Rugged as you are to the Outpost. 1000? That’s nothing. The Arwing can take temperatures up to 9000 degrees! 17:55 This and one other Badge are the only Badges in the game that essentially have a point where they become absolutely useless. Because of the level cap, you are guaranteed to not gain any Star Points past that cap, so having Runaway Pay equipped on that case is just wasting two BP. 22:30 Parrakary and pretty much every partner that gives us mobility options can’t do anything for us vertically (well, one of them lets us go down, which isn’t at all helpful in this situation). Mario’s jump and springs are all you’ve got for the most part. 22:47 An inherently better Badge than the First Attack Badge. It’s easier to come into contact with an enemy during a Spin than it is to First Strike them. The only problem is that if you use the Spin to its end you will have some lag time before you can Spin Attack again, and if you jump out of a Spin as you would with the speed strats, the Badge won’t work until you start spinning again. 27:24 Keep in mind that all of these do cost FP to use. Charge takes 1 FP. Dizzy Shell uses 4 FP. Power Bomb consumes 6 FP. Air Lift requires 3 FP. Bombette is also another good choice as Power Bomb would make her essentially a better Kooper though it costs more 3 FP than Power Shell while also dealing more damage (6 to all ground enemies versus Kooper’s 3). 28:40 I believe that when cooking Life Shrooms they behave the same as Super Shrooms, so you can substitute as needed, but why would you? 29:00 So did I. I guess Goombario’s just that excited to see and touch grass. 30:00 As well as two level ups! You’ve used it 53 times: once for each of the 49 screens, once on a block, once for a Pokey, and once for a Bandit. And per Chief’s reply, once on a Nomadimouse.

Goombario: "I don't like sand, it's coarse, rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere."

[@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643]

In this episode: Goombario finds his inner Anakin Skywalker. Now we just wait for him to find a light saber and slay some kids.

[@Phi_Lix]

@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643Darth Goombario sounds hilarious

[@Dorian_Scott]

I bet that the translation team for this must have went through hell while having to make up dialogue for Goombario for *ALL 49 DESERT SCREENS.* Actual madmen those people.

[@johnnymind4151]

Loved that you showed every single tattle Goombario has in Dry Dry Desert! 3:48 To think that in the Japanese version your completion is done for if you waste even a single Ultra Shroom... as expensive and annoying as farming Li'l Oinks is I'm so glad they replaced the Jelly Shroom with a regular Ultra Shroom internationally! 18:05 Yeah, not surprised at all this is the badge you couldn't find any use for, even the FX badges and a later joke one are better than this since they have a 0 BP cost at least (and I'm pretty sure I know what that latter badge's legitimate use will be, too). 20:57 Ah, I can see why Goombario makes this joke: in Japanese to say that you're thirsty you can either say 喉が渇いた "nodo ga kawaita", [my] throat got dried, or 喉がからからだ "nodo ga karakara", [my] throat is parched, which has the same onomatopoeia used in Dry Dry Desert's Japanese name, カラカラさばく "Karakara sabaku".

[@bayzul7405]

Having exactly as many Ultra Shrooms in overworld for recipes blows my mind. TYD buying def trivializes their rarity vs Paper Mario N64 15:15 sounds better with headphones

[@RoboticYeti]

As someone who is very heat sensitive and hates fish, Goombario has been such a mood lately lol

[@Anafyral666]

goombario's desert tattles get more crazed the further north or south you go on the grid which could maybe be a good way to get bearings if you get lost

[@kevinr.9733]

Hitting this block 1 time gives you a Mushroom. Hitting the block 10 times gives you a Super Shroom. Hitting the block 100 times give you an Ultra Shroom. Hitting the block 4.3 billion times (give or take) gives you one more of each. And hitting the block thirty-eight billion six hundred fifty-four million seven hundred five thousand seven hundred sixty-four times... crashes the game.

[@jongameaddict]

"I was slower than a Pokey" I caught that one. Love the subtlety of that one lmao

[@BlueKnight85]

If Goombario ends up becoming a villain in the Marioverse someday, now we know what his origin story is! And Mario won't feel any remorse for what he did to facilitate that.

[@LaserXP101]

Goombario before: I cant wait to go on an adventure with Mario, hes my idol Goombario now: *Why are we still here. Just to suffer*

[@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643]

More like: Goombario: I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere.

[@diortememirp6204]

It's a good thing Goombario has plot armor because he's with Mario, otherwise he would've collapsed about 20 squares ago XD Tattle's such a cool ability; you can get new text almost any time you want if you just go next to a new NPC or in another screen; it was someone's job to write all this desert dialogue and I thank them for that, because it's really cool as a player. I don't EXPECT people to do that because it's a lot of work, but when it happens is always welcome.

[@heavyarms55]

It's this kind of dedication that still impresses me, even after all these years Chuggaconroy keeps on pushing on where many LPer today would just tell you to google a guide. Mad kudos Chugga, mad kudos.

[@misterzygarde6431]

Imagine if certain items could go off on Bandits, damaging them like a bomb item to explodes before a Bandit can make off with it.

[@TaurusAnimations-z6x]

9:52 Emile: Maybe it’s friendly? Me: Heh! Classy.

[@ryanmcneiltrains1305]

What a thumbnail! Lots of pretty colours!

[@ReidTheNintendoPainter]

5:15 MOVE FASTER, POKEY! (It had to be done!)

[@Chief4Army117]

Goombario: I don't like sand. It's course, rough, irritating and it gets everywhere. Mario: TF you talking about, Goombario?

[@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643]

Now we just wait for him to aquire a lightsaber and slay some kids.

[@carpal_tunnel_of_love]

This was easily my fave episode of the series so far… poor Goombario 😂

[@happyguy0105]

Poor Goombario walking through 48 tiles of desert while forced to tattle through all of them and still didn't get the upgrade

[@KneeDeep2231]

Only Emile would think to make a video like this. Taught me more than I even knew about this area, especially with the funny tattles from Goombario. That’s what makes Emile the best in the biz

[@shiningmagneton469]

Ah, Dry Dry Desert. What a place. Why is this place so big. I never want to see another Pokey in my life. And I'm sure this video will show me something I missed. At least Bombette can blow everyone up with reckless abandon. I miss Mt. Rugged.

[@joanna7779]

5:16 MOVE FASTER POKEY!

[@yinshera]

Funny I click on the notification on accident while watching Partners in Time 🤧 ah, the perks of chugga's thoroughness ~

[@simonsonian8977]

12:48 You’ve probably used a fire flower in a battle with goombas, so probably from that. Hopefully….maybe….

[@redtwo006]

15:01 That was brought up on Mythbusters, with Adam and Jamie walking with their eyes closed and then in simulated 'blizzard' conditions (a bucket on their heads). Jamie has survival training, so he was fine... whereas Adam's path sketched an ampersand on the GPS.

[@kevingreenley1765]

I was really hoping those Bandits would be called Sly Guys. They have the robes and the masks.

[@mcparker8408]

I just watched 30 minutes of Emile wandering through a desert.... *likes video*

[@baseballcaniac9111]

Thank you, Chugga.

[@PhoxphorusKitKat]

~15:00~ Is that the reason why people can't walk in a straight line blindfolded? Fascinating if so.

[@Grove_12-Heroes]

Mario: Wait a minute… (Looks at Goombario) How do you know what roasted goomba smells like? Goombario: That is a dangerous question Mario… the kind that can make people go missing. Mario, Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry: O_O

[@EVERARDEDGaming]

Tbh with you. I think your jokes were magnificent going over the fact that you'd actually go all around Dry Dry Desert locating all hidden blocks such as collecting coins, item, and all that Jez.

[@henrik2145]

You forgot to tattle the room with the stop watch and Spinn attack badge. Guess the oasis wasn’t the only room 🤔

[@wolfox7776]

I think it's save to say thet Goombario hates sand. It's coarse, rough, iritating, and it gets everywhere.

[@iseemtobelost8265]

I love the attention to detail in this game

[@garylikesgames]

All that torture you put Goombario through and you didn't upgrade him? Poor guy. I had no idea he had that many lines though!

[@krvgames9258]

I didn’t know there was a glitch involving the Bandits. And holy cow, Dry Dry Desert is 49 screens big! I haven’t explored all 49 screens of Dry Dry Desert.
